THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN IN MARITIME EDUCATION

Abstract

The article provides a comparative analysis of the semantic determinism of the phenomena of “pedagogical design” and “designing educational programs”. The clarification of the terminological apparatus allows the author to identify two levels of pedagogical design: the macro-level at which the content of the educational program is designed, and the micro-level of the application of pedagogical design to create specific educational materials. The article substantiates the basic principles of pedagogical design in marine education, which include consistency and focus on the final educational result, practice orientation, adaptability, interdisciplinarity, and the introduction of innovative educational technologies. The analysis of the specific features of the professional activities of shipboard specialists allowed the author to propose a theoretical model of pedagogical design in marine education and to substantiate its main stages. The author states that some stages in the presented theoretical model of pedagogical design in marine education correspond to the stages of the well-known universal foreign model of pedagogical design. However, the author focuses on the fact that in marine education, pedagogical design has specific features of the implementation of the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. The author notes that the presented theoretical model of pedagogical design is complemented by an input stage of analyzing external factors influencing the structure and content of marine education, which is associated with an integrative approach to standardizing the training of naval specialists, and an output stage of feedback from all consumers of marine education, ensuring the cyclical nature of project activities and creating the necessary conditions for improving the design of educational programs.. The author concludes that the presented model and a detailed analysis of its stages can serve as a basis for creating effective educational programs that promote the training of highly qualified specialists for maritime transport.
